Who offers the best Sabbatical?
Dell does not offer, interested in current state of tech market. Post your company policy and I’ll update the thread. Please share any personal thoughts on such a policy. Personally I want >=8 weeks paid every 5-7 years. If companies want to retain talent they really need to reward tenure. Time is the greatest gift. Nobody wants a dumb chotchkie or watch. Blind tax: TC 375k YOE 17 Intel: 8 weeks paid every 7 years of tenure Adobe: 4 weeks paid at 5 year tenure 5 weeks paid at 10 year tenure 6 weeks paid every 5 years tenure >= 15 Autodesk: 6 weeks paid every 4 years of tenure Arm: 4 weeks paid every 4 years of tenure PayPal / Charles Schwab / Epic: 4 weeks paid every 5 years of tenure Biogen: 4 weeks paid every 6 years of tenure Google/IBM Sabbaticals allowed for volunteering (unclear of terms) #tech #faang #timeoff #sabbatical #tenure
We have unlimited PTO. Why use the sabbatical program if you can just take off. I personally take about 8 weeks a year of PTO. In the past, I took 3 months off between jobs (2 times).
Who at sales force regularly takes vacations >= 4 weeks straight? I’d think culture shaming would prevent that behavior. Taking 8 weeks is good use of policy, and I see that being a viable alternative. Most people I know with unlimited PTO don’t take it.
The foreigners on my team take every December off to visit their home country. I only take 3 weeks in December. I also take 3 weeks during summer.
Arm has 4 weeks every 4 years. Plus 5 weeks of vacation
Just switch jobs and take a 2 month sabbatical
Intel recently allows more flexibility so that people don't require to take a break 8 week long non-consecutive sabbatical. For example, You can take 4 week in spring break and another 4 week in summer. Also, Intel allows 4 week sabbatical with every 4 year service.
So on top of vacation, it’s actually… Year 4 - 4 week sabbatical Year 7 - 8 week sabbatical (or two 4s) Year 8 - 4 week sabbatical Year 12 - 4 week sabbatical Year 14 - 8 week sabbatical (or two 4s) etc…?
I take a 1 year sabbatical every 10 years. Closing in now for the next 1 year break and planning for it.
I'm really displeased with Google's stance on sabbatical (or lack thereof)
I couldn’t find detailed info on it, how does it work? Something about being tied to community service, or training? unpaid?
I don't know the exact policy I'll have to look it up when I'm at my computer. But basically the company line is "we are generous with PTO so you don't need a sabbatical". Annoying
